March 2013

One of my favourites months so far this year 

Lets look what happened. Cast your mind back. It was a busy one but a great one.

The month started off with a lovely trip down south to hang out with my buddies, we hadnt had a weekend away since November 2011 which is bonkers but with babies left right and centre they are hard to arrange.

In our little 'gang' no one has ever been pregnant at the same time before so here we were with 3 of us pregnant, i was just 12 weeks that day actually and unbeknown to us there was a 4th secret pregnant person just waiting for the right time lol Im sure you already have read the news but lovely Leanne is also expecting in October, so thats June (Laura had baby Emily), Jen is due mid Aug, Me in Sept and Leanne, how exciting. Shame we dont all live closer but nice to know there will be plenty people ' going through it' at the same time. 

So yes a good few pics of our weekend away, a little catch up with baby V, ad life at 12 weeks. 

Nothing got much more exciting than on the 8th March getting to see our little baby for the first time and knowing for one i wasnt imagining it and two baby was all healthy and happy. 

Much of this month dedicated to what we felt and what we saw and things like that, such as first items bought, how we announced it etc

The next day after the scan I went to tropical world with 2 of my chums and their kiddies, some hospital appointments and 2 years since we got engaged, ah yes and i may have bought some baby yarn

Next brought a change to my hours at work, finishing some knits, looking at prams, getting bigger and some baby room prep

A little trip up home and time to buy more maternity clothes, i started my first baby knit, we went on a night away, there was insane snow, and i looked bumpy. 

Ooh i got my lovely rabbit jumper, we got to hear babys heart beat for the first time at 16 weeks, and went out for a meal as part of our week off with vic, ant and V.

A little Olive love, a trip to Ilkely, some sad news about a good friends reminding me just how bloody lucky we are, a bit more baby knitting and room prep and more pram choices.

We bought a cute bunny for our garden, took cute pics, went to ikea for baby drawers, went to TGI, hung out with babies, bought baby a toy. 

Wow so there you go it was a crazy busy month mainly because we had a week off so lots of time to do things that then need documenting, feels like only yesterday yet a million years ago at the same time. 

Scrapping Vs Knitting

This is what I must decide between today, I have all my DT work to do with a beautiful kit, but then I am insanely close to finishing projects (still i know), I did finish one yesterday in the car but I have to put a face on my little owl.

But in the mean time I do have some things to share with you, I havent shown you all of the work i did for this months Sarah's Cards Kit so here goes.

One of the easiest pages ever but pretty i think, i got a bit carried away with the cuttlebug on this one, this is a old photo of me and he, that SJ took when we went to see her last year (march 2009) still love them though.

This is me and my dad, my dad works funny shifts so i dont really see him on the rare occasion i do go home, but we spent a couple of days there in June so the i had a chance to take some photos. Me and rob are used to having a camera in our face all the time but i had to show my dad how to pose, he was pretty mortified lol

This is the last one as you know my lovely friend Ol, had her gorgeous baby on the 19th, well i finally got to meet him yesterday and he is just a little gorgeous bundle, wanna see?

Oh man this boy is seriously cute, he has the longest little froggy legs bless him, i cant wait to see him grow and get bigger.

Well i have a million things to do and its already 2pm oh my!

hope scrapping and a cute baby was a nice treat on sunday lol

Todays Plan of action

Every weekend i give myself a insanely long list of things i want to get done, i rarely get everything done coz they are seriously long. 2 weeks ago it had 26 things on it, ranging from blogging, to scrapping, to knitting whole garments, to sewing, i got 9 done that weekend.

Last weekend there was 12, mainly from the week before but i had been a little more realistic this time i got, i got 6 things done lol.

Today I have 7, but one includes do at least 15 scrapbook pages (yeah yeah) and the another is make a quilt.

I showed you my lovely Early Bird fabric before but here is another peak

Pretty huh?

So i want to make it into something even prettier, my previous quilts have literally just been fat quarters chopped up, but today i fancy being a bit more daring.

All these lovely quilts are available to download for free from the Amy Butler sight as well as tons of other stuff.

So they are my plans, I'm going to do my best to avoid the internet today as its a time sucker!

Oh yes i have a cute photo to show you

This is baby Katrin, shes cute, im guessing she is smaller than thought as that little baby grow is a little big lol.

Right im off to have a super productive day, scrapping, sewing and knitting all in the same day lucky me huh!

have a great saturday whatever you are up to xx
